Just going to ask you guys do you think there'll be anymore ds2s teams doing something wildcard rounds if so who? it seems to be likely
To be MSR, PMM, EMS, KBR and Image/Dragon what do you guys think? |

Apparently there is a lot of talk about Jack Perkins going in as a wild card here and there to keep form for the ENDURO's

Lots of talk around wildcards, not so much talk about the dollars to pay for them.
A Dunlop series car would likely need updates to be VASC spec, suspension primarily, but also likely engine spec, garage equipment buy/lease, technogumbies to prepare & engineer the cars, wheels, tyres, spare engine & transmission, (as this falls outside the REC process) plus flights, accommodation, transport and a zillion other things Plus accident damage and/or insurance If a wildcard is entered for a round, are they obligated to show up, under risk of a $150k liquidated damages fine per round missed? |

Exactly.
It is a BIG step up, which is why it rarely happens. |

Yep 100% it's such a big step between Dunlop Series and Supercars I know for a certain that the Image/Dragon are having a car built by GRM for the enduro cup likely to be Renee Gracie and another driver. That'll be the problems for DVS teams will be finding drivers with the budget to do those wildcard rounds and a full DVS scheduale.

Its not likely that the Dunlop series runs a go-hard engine package like the main game either... A wildcard is a great idea in theory.. |

If Mr Brown is in the EMS Dunlop Series seat... Story Here who might be taking over Mr Dumbrell's seat in #88 for the Pirtek Enduro Cup?

Does Winton have enough room in pitlane to facilitate the additional entries? Baring in mind the elaborate pit garage fitouts we've seen in recent years.

It doesn't.. a question unable to be asked when a news article is a cup & paste of a press release.
Mr Dumbrell has said often that he needs to stay match fit, that Mr Dane expects that he is match fit, and the EMS deal allows him to do that. If the EMS deal stops... we are adding 1+1 and getting 2 here... If you get technical, it doesn't actually say Mr Brown will be in a CotF either... |

BJR to expand to four cars with a wildcard for Macauley Jones and confirmation he'll be returning for the enduro cup. What rounds exactly is TBC. Is this a better job by me now? |

Where has this increased interest in wildcards at normal rounds come from?
Presumebly this new rule was only introduced due to requests from teams to have this avenue open. It used to handle 32 cars with compulsory pitstops, so 27 or 28 cars shouldn't be an issue |
